CHICAGO \u2013 Rookie Chicago White Sox center fielder Tristan Peters hit for the cycle<\/a> Friday night, becoming the franchise’s first player to achieve the feat in nearly nine years.<\/p>\n Peters doubled in the third, singled in the fifth and hit a two-run homer in the seventh against the Athletics.<\/p>\n Needing a triple, he came up to bat a second time in the seventh and hit a hard grounder past first base<\/a> and down the right-field line. The 26-year-old from Canada rounded second and slid headfirst into third to beat the relay throw, getting a huge ovation. He drove in three of Chicago’s eight runs in the inning, finishing 4 for 4 with four RBIs and two runs scored while batting ninth in a 14-1 victory<\/a>.<\/p>\n Peters is the third major leaguer to hit for the cycle this season, joining Pete Crow-Armstrong and Bryce Harper. The last White Sox player to do it was Jose Abreu on Sept. 9, 2017.<\/p>\n ___<\/p>\n
